Establishing scale inhibitor retention mechanisms in pure adsorption and coupled adsorption/precipitation treatments
… solids deposition such as carbonate and sulphate scales in reservoir and near wellbore formation is by applying scale inhibitor (SI) squeeze treatments. The two main mechanisms that govern the scale inhibitor retention and release process in the formation are by adsorption/desorption and …

Experimental and modelling studies on the phase behaviour of mutual solvents and their transport through porous media in oil/brine/mutual solvent systems in the context of scale inhibitor squeeze treatments
Oilfield scale is a significant problem in oil production which arises due to temperature and pressure changes and mixing of incompatible brines when a well is produced. The most successful and commonly used strategy for mitigating against oilfield scale is the application of scale inhibitor …

The investigation of the effect of free organic anions on scale inhibitors used to prevent nucleation occurring in oil rig wells, using dynamic test equipment.
… in the oil industry is solved by the use of scale inhibitors. The Gryphon oil field suffers from severe scaling problems. The oil from this field is very acidic. It is believed that these anions associate themselves with the scale inhibitors and so reduce the efficiency of the scale …

The role of biofilms in Legionella pneumophila transmission in drinking water distribution system
… scaling control (e.g., hardness reduction and scale inhibitor application) on the chemical composition, physical structure, and mechanical stiffness of biofilms was investigated. Applying the scale control to water source diminished the calcium carbonate precipitating inside biofilms, thus led …

Chemical and physical effects of interaction between oilfield chemicals and formation rocks and integration with sand failure prediction models.
… gas industry, and have been used extensively as inhibitor, surfactant, biocide, stabilizer, depressant, retarder, scavenger, defoamer, demulsifier, stimulant, and so on. However, the weakening effect that the chemical/formation interaction may have on the grain fabrics has not yet been given due …
